Can anybody evaluate my chance of getting into MIT MFin?

I am an internation student, currently struggling with job searching. I am thinking of getting a second master's degree at MIT MFin but I am not sure about my chances getting in. Could someone help me evaluate my background? Thanks!

You have little to no chance for MIT. And don't waste your money with a "review".

UG GPA - low Currently getting a MSF GMAT - Below MIT Avg. GMAT Split - poor

MIT is going to question why you want a second masters. Being international, your scores should be much higher. You went to a non-target and had an OK at best GPA. Your GMAT needs to be higher with a higher verbal score.

You are at UVA, which is lucky. Program is great. I would focus on gaining employment vs. trying to do anyone very similar masters.
